“Advertising has gone too far and is now a necessary evil.” This essay will discuss the topic “advertising has gone too far and is now a necessary evil”, especially referring to advertising directed at children. For the sake of this essay, “advertising” is defined as any public promotion of something, mainly products directed at children. “Gone too far” is defined as crossing the line of moral values and is now harming the safety and welfare of society. “Necessary” is defined as needed and inevitable, and something we cannot live without. Finally, “evil” is defined as something that is extremely unpleasant, harmful, and/or morally wrong. This essay will discuss the ways in which advertising has gone too far, if it is indeed evil, and if it is necessary. First, however, the ways in which advertising has gone too far must be addressed. This essay will now enter into the question of advertising being evil – something that is extremely unpleasant, harmful, and/or morally wrong. Looking at this definition, we can see that advertising is in fact, an evil. The careful manipulation, the messages they show, the ways in which they brainwash these children, and even the mere idea of children advertising is extremely unpleasant, with experts calling advertisers “creepy”. The brainwashing alone is harmful in that it makes children’s minds compatible with whatever the advertising industry wants, and it is also extremely harmful through the mental health diseases and problems that it leads to mentioned earlier. And finally, it can clearly be seen that this negative impact the advertising industry is having on these young and vulnerable children – the future of this world – is certainly not moral for many of the reasons stated above when discussing its unpleasantness and harmfulness. Therefore, using the definition of evil that this essay has used, advertising is indeed evil, and is also evil in other ways not already mentioned. Today’s society is putting money, profit, and...

...Plastic Surgery: Has It Finally GoneTooFar?
Shivani Rami
The relative mainstreaming of the sex industry along with popular culture and its objectification of women in many forms, such as in advertisements, have led to a perpetually increased sense of pressure among many women to obtain seamlessly sexualized and almost airbrushed bodies. The movement towards this idealized physique began with the now socially approved breast augmentations, liposuctions, rhinoplasties, and so on. Yet the road to achieving this perfect body has taken a turn below the belt, and the new craze is for women to alter the shape of their labias to create a more aesthetically pleasing look. The new trend for women to shape the size of their labias is a practice that virtually serves no purpose and fosters negative social obligations for females. The practice essentially takes away from the notion that every woman is beautiful in her own way by comparing each woman to her neighbor, and classifying genitals on an “abnormal” or “normal” scale.
The Second Wave Feminism urged women to take out their hand mirrors and embark on self discovery and celebration. However, women were now beginning to look for imperfections and defects, such as large labias, and were seeking possible ways of fixing these imperfections. The surgical procedure, called a labiaplasty, involves trimming away labial tissue, and...

...Political correctness hasgonetoofar
The "Politically Correct" movement's purpose is to bring historically condescending terms, offensive music and art, and controversial educational content to an end and replace them with more positive and less-offending references. Offensive and demoralizing efforts are wrong, but the censorship and deletion of words and phrases that do not contain the intention to demoralize are taking political correctness toofar. Politically correct (or "PC") antics have created a social decline that is growing worse with each generation, specifically regarding areas of art, education, language, and our right to freedom of speech; the degradation they have brought to the American psyche has even led to name-changing.
The PC mindset has also discouraged artistic expression. Imagine being to be so sensitive about offending people that we let the art we create be determined by the offended. New art would be restricted and old art would be censored. The creative ability would be limited to what is considered acceptable by everyone. We would be like the fool who tries to please everyone. How would music and art exist if the free reign of creativity ended? If art and music continue to face influential restrictions on content, then the quality of art will fall into artistic mediocrity.
PC policies have also compromised the accuracy of...

...Advertisers GoneTooFar
Today's advertisers have gonetoofar because they are striving too hard to be the best and they will do anything to be on top. Advertising is becoming a way of living in the world today. You can't go anywhere without seeing advertisements on cars, buses, billboards, television screens, magazines, etc. Advertising is everywhere! Advertisers are the people that create the ads that you see. The advertiser's job is to sell their product to the consumer. By doing this, advertisers need to think of ways that will catch the viewers attention. "A great statistic I love to recite to people is that 20 years ago it took three commercials to reach 80% of the U.S. population. Today it takes 150." says Jeff Hicks of Crispin Porter + Bogusky, a Miami ad agency. Given the challenging market, retailers must advertise aggressively to sell their products and stay in business, but this causes the problem of advertisers going toofar. They push the limits by twisting the truth for people of any age to believe and target the gullible viewers to buy a product that they do not even need.
Advertisers are focused on selling the product instead of caring if the consumer's needs are satisfied. Advertisers lead consumers to confuse "want" with "need". Advertisers use many different ways to draw in the consumer, such as...

...Have we gonetoofar?
Has Pop music gonetoofar some might say yes some might say no but to some extent everyone would agree but how can you judge this by standard of the generation and how the artist changed it as well as how you would think the next generation would react.
when we began the course it started with rock and rollers wearing suits and dancing with a 1-2 step then coming to 2013 which Ithink the second teen idol era such as Justin Bieber or Katy Perry or even worse the Kardashians but even now compare them to the likes of Fabian teen idols of the late 50s-60s who are taking the rolls of Elvis and such should be noted than filming of Elvis from the waist down was prohibited at a time then to half naked women for the sake of getting a gold record and a couple of bucks but then there was jim morrison waving around his penis on stage but it can be said he was under influence of several things.
But all in all I Say that yes it has gotten toofar .
Pop music can be said to be always changing because the change from R&B to hip hop did not happen without a huge change like rock and roll and san francisco but when you say something is extreme the next generation will take it as the norm say when 80s rock and roll started making sex related music videos which was considered ridiculous today its everywhere...

...Advertising - a necessaryevil?
By Brigitte Heyer
"Advertising is the art of arresting human intelligence long enough to get money from it." Stephen Leacock Every business needs advertising, like it or lump it. Although there are some geniuses around who have the knack to get it right, for most people effective advertising is a long, and often costly, learning experience. You soon learn what does and doesn't work, and try bravely to withstand the lure of clever, well-trained reps working under the whip to get your dollars. In this article I want to give you some helpful hints regarding ads in print - whether on a flyer, in a magazine, newsletter or paper, the strategy needs to be the same. First of all - does the print medium target the same (or at least a good proportion) audience as your business? Next - is the medium attractively presented (layout)? Or is it hopelessly cluttered? What does a reasonable size ad cost? How often does the paper/newsletter etc. come out? How will you be gauging your responses from the ad? How much income do you need to make running the ad worthwhile? A word of caution: as a rule, one-off ads don't work, especially the small ones. Unless you're offering 50% off Nescafe by 12 noon the next day, or run a full page in The Canberra Times, don't bother. Even if your first two or three runs don't result in an overwhelming response, set yourself a timeframe of...

...Has the Government GoneTooFar?
As you're driving down the highway you will most likely see "Click It Or Ticket" signs, and you may ask yourself, has the government gonetoofar with this law? People in America have the right to risk their own life by doing things such as rock climbing or bicycling without a helmet, the freedom to choose to wear a seatbelt is no different. Since the forming of our country our rights have become more and more regulated and the seatbelt law is only one example of this. You may want to ask yourself how many freedoms are you willing to loose before you object?
You may ask, why not force people to wear seatbelts if it saves lives? If we start forcing people to wear seatbelts then we should also start making people stay healthy since obesity is a major cause for dying young. Then after we force people to stay healthy why don't we put a ban on people having unprotected sex, because it can lead to diseases that could cause death. The list goes on and on of things the government can do to that would be good for our health and save our lives, but this country was established on the basis that we are free to endanger ourselves as long as we do not harm anyone else.
Another reason why forcing people to wear seatbelts doesn't make sense is that the law can not be enforced evenly. Some people will get ticketed and some people...

...sums of money offered by the tabloid press. No major celebrity can avoid them. Though some say that they are just doing their job, others believe that is is going toofar and needs limits.
There was a recent situation where a paparrazzi photographer got killed while trying to get a picture of celebrity pop star, Justin Bieber's white Ferrari. He saw Bieber's car getting pulled over and took some pictures, but as he was going back to his own car, he got struck by a vehical and died. Bieber, though, gave his condolaces to the paparrazzi photographer's family. "While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim," Bieber said in a statement. "Hopefully this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders and the photographers themselves."
The paparrazzi can recive up to thousands of dollars for candid pictures of celebrities. As celebrities become more popular, the public wants to know what they are doing every single second of the day, even when they aren't on camera. The paparazzi make it their job to find out. Today, paparrazzis tread on private property, take pictures of intimate moments, and even go as far as stalking. They will do anything to get a picture. Paparazzi photographers repeatedly hunt...
